Our school has been a flurry of activity this month.
A big, warm welcome to all the new boys and girls who have joined our school, especially the new Junior Infants!
They are getting used to their new school routine with their teacher Ms McGrath.
Fresh Today is supplying hot lunches to all pupils, daily. Every class is reminded to bring healthy snacks for breaktime, and to have lunchboxes and bottles clearly labelled.
All pupils are looking superb in their uniforms and school tracksuits. See Intosport's website for new tracksuit: https://www.intosport.ie/intosportshop/cat_1657404-Presentation-Convent-Castlecomer.html
Cycling lessons are in progress with 5th and 6th class, provided by Cycle Right.
The girls' GAA Football team is in action at present, with the 5th and 6th class girls playing very well, and working well with their coaches.
Library visits have been plentiful, with story time sessions for junior classes, and projects for older classes. We are looking forward to Bookville in October, with author visits and more.
Mrs. C Kenny, HSCL is organising the Homework Club, due to begin at the end of September. She is also organising classes for parents, including Pilates.
Ms McGrath encouraged all classes to take part in the Active Flag's initiative, #RelayTakeOver on 27th September. It was a great way to be active, and have fun in the yard.
Fr Scriven celebrated our school Mass on 26th September, in the church. 2nd to 6th class pupils attended, along with pupils from the Boys' School.
GAA skills sessions have begun with Mr Dermot Ryall, for Ms Treacy's class and Mrs M Kenny's class. Other classes will avail of these sessions in the coming weeks.
We are looking forward to this year's Creative School projects - beginning with painting a school mural, with artist Paul Bokslag. More information to follow on this, and on our Art BLAST project, later on in the year.
We will have lots more activities and events in October, including a Heritage in Schools visit and more sporting endeavours, too.
